Review on Recent Progress in Nitrogen-Doped Graphene: Synthesis, Characterization, and Its Potential Applications

Haibo Wang, T. Maiyalagan, Xin Wang · 16 Mar 2012

Nitrogen doping has been an effective way to tailor the properties of graphene and render its potential use for various applications. Three common bonding configurations are normally obtained when doping nitrogen into the graphene: pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, and graphitic N. This paper reviews nitrogen-doped graphene, including various synthesis methods to introduce N doping and…

Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) on Ru, Ir, and Pt Catalysts: A Comparative Study of Nanoparticles and Bulk Materials

Tobias Reier, Mehtap Oezaslan, Peter Strasser · 23 Jul 2012

A comparative investigation was performed to examine the intrinsic catalytic activity and durability of carbon supported Ru, Ir, and Pt nanoparticles and corresponding bulk materials for the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The electrochemical surface characteristics of nanoparticles and bulk materials were studied by surface-sensitive cyclic voltammetry. Although basically similar voltammetric features were observed for…

Recent Trends and Perspectives in Electrochemical Water Splitting with an Emphasis on Sulfide, Selenide, and Phosphide Catalysts of Fe, Co, and Ni: A Review

Sengeni Anantharaj, Sivasankara Rao Ede, K. Sakthikumar et al. · 19 Oct 2016

Increasing demand for finding eco-friendly and everlasting energy sources is now totally depending on fuel cell technology. Though it is an eco-friendly way of producing energy for the urgent requirements, it needs to be improved to make it cheaper and more eco-friendly. Although there are several types of fuel cells, the hydrogen (H2) and oxygen…

Polymeric Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

Xinchen Wang, Siegfried Blechert, Markus Antonietti · 9 Jul 2012

Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (for simplicity, g-C 3 N 4 ) is a layered material similar to graphene, being composed of only C, N, and some impurity H. Contrary to graphenes, g-C 3 N 4 is a medium band gap semiconductor and an effective photocatalyst for a broad variety of reactions, and it possesses a…

ACS Catalysis template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the ACS Catalysis format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the ACS Catalysis template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does ACS Catalysis use?
ACS Catalysis uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. ACS Catalysis 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to ACS Catalysis?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready ACS Catalysis document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the ACS Catalysis template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the ACS Catalysis format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is ACS Catalysis?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready ACS Catalysis PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official ACS Catalysis template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the ACS Catalysis template cost?
You can start writing in the ACS Catalysis template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready ACS Catalysis PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
